I don't think any of the calls were wrong, but there sure were a lot of calls against Texas on key plays.

That was the same crew that called our game vs Georgia- godawful officious intermeddlers.  Main ref looked and talked and reasoned like Gomer Pyle before the Marines.

Um, Helm's "Holding" call has been called multiple times this year.   Phantom calls are not accidents.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but there is zero doubt in my mind that the officiating crew absolutely was going to make sure the penalties were going to be called heavily in favor of Vanderbilt. 

They wanted to make sure it didn’t look like Texas was getting advantageous calls after last week. Turning over that call last week was historic. It was the right decision but still unprecedented.

The offensive line plays undisciplined and has been unable to pick up the blitz effectively. There was constant pressure on the pocket which forces a lot of those short throws. Anyone putting all the offenses woes on Quinn doesn’t understand offensive football. He took what the defense gave, which is exactly what he is supposed to do. Until this o line can protect and get enough push that we can consistently run in run downs, this team will struggle.

People are correct that Ewers has not looked great the last few weeks. But I'm not sure why he's being singled out. The entire offense has looked like shit with the possible exception of Wisner, Helm, and the small amount of Blue this week. QB, OL, WR, coaching. It's all been ass. 

 

because the QB is the single most important person on the team?

Ok.  Call holding.  I get it.  Can be called on almost every play.  That being said, the more talented team should not get 5 (or more) holds called than the less talented team.  I don't care what the situation is.

Maybe I didn’t see the correct angle but it looked like Helm knocked a guy on his ass and then jumped on him last ke you’re taught.

Glad we were able to change out the cocksucker refs of the Big 12 for the shit-eating cocksucker refs of the SEC.

The story for this game should have been that a pissed off Texas team took the field and the offense physically beat the shit out of an undersized D Line using fast and hard-running RBs. Quick pitches, sweeps, quick hitters. Beat their Cornerbacks to a pulp while you're at it. Dominate them on the ground, then throw three or four long TD passes. That offense wasn't angry - or at least Sark didn't give them a chance to show it. Personally, I think Sark wasn't angry enough and it showed. 

A good coach recognizes a mismatch and pushes it down the throat of his opponent until the opponent adjusts, then you go in for the kill. I know one thing, if we'd been cramming the ball down their throats, they wouldn't have been all over Quinn in the backfield. Sark is still on a learning curve. If only he read Surly.

I think people are pissed that we look like Tech lately with the semi successful screens seemingly every play vs the Sark signature deep crosses chunk plays.  Having the announcers call our once vaunted QB Check down Charlie add fuel to the fire.  Fuck it. Wins a win. Nobody knows how good Vandy will be.  Mizz was shut out by the team that lost to Vandy.

I will pray to sweet 8lb baby Jesus that we clean up penalties.  That will be enough to let the talent shine

Fucking weird game. Just did everything we could to minimize our own success.  Between penalties, sacks and tip drill interceptions at the most inopportune times we made it way harder than it had to be.  Frustrating.

Should have punched it in from the 5 and gotten that pick 6 with no penalties to win 38-24

I literally had to walk away from the tv for most of the 4th and went for a walk around the neighborhood.  One of the most frustrating games I have watched Texas play in 30 years 

Not even in the top 20 for me, but it was pretty darn frustrating.

Quinn gets rattled too often. They better have Arch ready to go next week. Thank God it’s an 11am kick so we can get that shit over with.

Well since it’s a bye week that won’t be a problem 

Bye always plays us tough. Definitely another trap game for the Horns

I bailed at the Vandy TD in the 3rd.  Went and hung out with the cat and cleaned the kitchen.  Didn't get the least but upset last week as I considered GA to be as good or better than TX.  Today, not so much.

I love a good story, but not at the expense of my Horns.  Pavia's prancing around after the 1st TD + the nonstop dicksucking by the announcers was pretty off putting.  Glad our D came to play.

 

whenever theres a feel good QB story against Texas in a close game, the announcers fucking go ALL IN on it.

remember the Baylor QB... Charlie Brewer story.... Grandpa and Dad both went to Texas, and mean old Texas didnt give him a scholly (we fucking offered him a preferred walkon, which isnt bullshit for a 3rd string QB)... and that ENTIRE Baylor game here 2 years ago was "Charlie wants revenge, Charlie playing with a chip on his shoulder, Brewer wants to win so bad and see theres his fucking family former longhorns now in green)

we're 3-1 in the SEC

With wins against Mississippi State, a historically shitty OU team, and Vanderbilt...

Look, the record could be a lot worse, but let's not act like Texas has beaten anyone worth a damn yet.

  • CSU (5-3, 3-0)
  • Michigan (4-3, 2-2)
  • UTSA (3-5, 1-3)
  • ULM (5-2, 3-1)
  • MSU (1-7, 0-5)
  • OU (4-4, 1-4)
  • VU (5-3, 2-2)

We didn’t make the schedule, hope that helps!
